This article applies to:

• Trustwave SPE 4.3.X
• Admin and Customer websites

Question:

• What do I need to know about website changes in SPE 4.3?

Information:

SPE 4.3 includes a new Management Interface website. This modern, mobile friendly site includes all functions of the legacy Admin Console and Customer Console.

Upgrade considerations

Upgrade of an Admin Console server installs the new Management Interface website. Upgrade disables the legacy Admin Console website that depends on Internet Explorer.

In the upgrade installer you can specify a host header for the Management Interface. This cannot be the same as the existing host header entry for the Admin Console. You will probably want to change the host header and binding later, to apply the legacy URL to the new site.

After completing the software upgrade you must update website bindings and DNS entries so that the Management Interface is available from the appropriate locations to give access to the Provider and any Distributors or Resellers.

• Standard Logins to the Management interface have additional security roles (Rule Summary, Groups, Digests, Relays). Access to these roles is not set by default. You must review access for each standard login and grant access to these roles as appropriate.

Upgrade of a Customer Console server installs the Management Interface as well as upgrading the familiar Customer Console. In the upgrade installer you can specify a host header for the Management Interface. This cannot be the same as the existing host header entry for the Customer Console. If you plan to remove the Customer Console, you can change the host header and binding later.

All login credentials continue to work with the new interface.

If you choose to retain the familiar Customer Web Console, customers can continue to use this interface for most functions. The following items now require the new interface:

• Report generation and Scheduled Reports configuration
• Keywords Detection and TextCensor editing

The end user Spam Quarantine Management view is available from either the pre-existing Customer Console or the new site, with the path /SQM

Controlling access to views

If you want to maintain separate servers for the Customer Console and Admin Console, you can limit the available views using Registry entries on each server.

To limit access, add one or more of the following DWORD values in the root of the MailMarshalSPE registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Marshal\MailMarshalSPE

• AllowAdminConsole
• AllowResellerConsole
• AllowCustomerConsole

A value of 0 (zero) denies access. The default for all items is to allow access. AllowResellerConsole also controls the Distributor view. 

The entries may take up to a minute to apply, due to caching in the services.
